Based on Islamic Faraid law

Understanding Your Share

As a wife with children from the deceased, you are entitled to 1/8 of the estate according to Quranic law.

Estate Distribution

⚠️ Important: Before Faraid Distribution

Islamic law requires the following order of priority when settling an estate:

Priority Order:

  1. Funeral Expenses - Paid first from the estate
  2. Debts - All debts must be settled
  3. Wasiyyah (Bequests) - Max 1/3 of remaining estate
  4. Faraid - Islamic inheritance distribution

Example:

Total Estate Value: RM 500,000

− Funeral Expenses: RM 10,000

− Outstanding Debts: RM 100,000

− Wasiyyah (if any): RM 50,000

= RM 340,000 available for Faraid distribution

💡 The percentages shown in this calculator apply to the NET estate after deducting funeral expenses, debts, and wasiyyah.

📐 Advanced: Radd & Awl

In some cases, the fixed shares may not total exactly 100%:

Radd (Return of Surplus):

When fixed shares total less than 100%, the surplus is returned proportionally to eligible heirs.

Awl (Proportional Reduction):

When fixed shares exceed 100%, all shares are reduced proportionally to fit within 100%.

💡 This calculator handles basic scenarios. Complex cases requiring Radd or Awl should be verified with a Syariah expert.

🎁 Estate Planning: Hibah (Gifts During Lifetime)

Want to plan your estate distribution while you're still alive? Consider Hibah (Islamic gift-giving).

Benefits of Hibah:

  • Give to anyone (including adopted children, non-heirs)
  • No limit - can give 100% of your wealth
  • Immediate transfer - no waiting after death
  • Avoid complications of Faraid distribution
  • Ensure equal distribution if desired

💡 Hibah must be executed properly during your lifetime with proper documentation and ownership transfer.

This is a simplified calculation. Please consult with a qualified Islamic scholar or legal advisor for official inheritance matters.
